“Try and fail, but don't fail to try.” ― John Quincy Adams

‘Letters on Silesia’ is a collection of John Quincy Adams’ correspondence with his brother while he was serving as a U.S. Minster in Prussia as well as a travel report from his time overseas. Silesia was an Eastern Germany district that bordered Prussia, Austria, and Germany at a time of political unrest in Europe. Adams played a critical role in the development of foreign policy in the United States, and much of his experiences discussed in this work shaped American policies.

Divided in to two parts, ‘Letters’ focuses on a six-week tour giving observations of the customs of people in Silesia as well as giving a detailed account of geography and history of the area
